1804 10C 14 Stars Reverse, VF20 NGC JR-2, R.5. Writing in 1984, the John Reich Collectors Society state: "The overall frequency of appearances of 1804 Dimes is less than that of any Dime 1796-1837." A limited original mintage of 8,625 pieces explains this phenomenon, although the JRCS does opine that some of the Draped Bust dimes delivered in 1805 may have been dated 1804. JR-2 is the more popular of the two known die marriages of this issue because it (interestingly enough) shares a reverse die with the 1804 BD-2 quarter eagle. Examples are also somewhat scarcer than those of the 1804 JR-1 variety. This richly toned example displays original steel-gray toning over both sides. Accents of blue and gold are seen at indirect light angles and some splotchy areas of charcoal color are near the reverse border. Overall moderate wear is noted, but the focal features retain outline definition, as well as some bolder detail in the recesses. An important mid-grade representative of this key-date issue in the early Draped Bust dime series. (PCGS 4475)
